FORTUNES FOR EVERY ONE.
Millionaire Mackay's Advice to
Young Men and Women.
An Opportunity Now Offered to
Profit by it.-A Rare Investment
and Thousands are Putting Their
Money in 1t.

Once in a while man with woe-begone
face and general aspect of seediness will say:
There is no chance for a poor man in this
country" There never was greater mistake
than this. Take glance at the millionaires
of New York and you will find that nineteen
out Of twenty Of them started without a dollar
They made their money as a rule by keeping
their eyes open and taking advantage Of the
opportunities which were occasionally afforded
them.
1t is not the men who make all the money,
either. There are young women who can give
ordinary men points on making safe and good
investments and who are living in luxury now
through having invested their small savings
in good thing that returned them profits
q hundred fold.
Maybe it was good patent perhaps it was in
a small store. or more likely they made their
wealth by a sensible investment in some good
stock. which rapidly appreciated in value.
That is about the easiest and safest way for
man or woman to get rich, and there are hun
dreds of both sexes in New York who know
that fact because they have tried it.
When John A. Mackay, the famous Bonanza
millionaire, was at the Hoffman House re-
Gently, Morning Journal reporter asked him
how he got his first start
"In mining property" replied Mr. Mackay.
"There is nothing like mines to make for
tune, and when young man asks my advice
as to what he shall do with his fifty dollars or
his hundred dollars or his FIVE hundred dol
lars, invariably tell him: Put it in good
mine'"
That the advice of Mr. Mackay Is being
pretty generally acted on by men and women
who are smart enough to take advice from such
a source, is shown by the wonderful demand
which has sprung mp for the stock Of the Tor
tilits Gold and Silver Mining Company, whose
general offices are at No. 81 Broadway, New
| York city.
The capital stock of the Tortilita Company is
81 900 900. divided into 100000 shares at 50
| each.
Such chance to make q safe investment
that is away ahead of savings banks and build
ing associations is rarely offered TO the public.
The shares are worcestershire and the man
or woman who calls or sends to the Office of the
Tortilits Mining Company to invest but 81 is
treated with as much courtesy as the million
| are VINO DuyS 0,OOO ShareS
Already the shares are a favorite investment
in all parts Of the country. especially with
people who have small sums Of money and who
hope for large returns from a small purchase.
The stock has advanced 100 per cent. from
the original price. and many believe it will GO
to $40 and even so per share. The price now
is S. Dividends will begin September /, and
bullion is now being shipped.
And now word about the mines and the
officers of the company: Mr. Joseph Fl. Resll
president of the American Agricultural and
Dairy Association, is president of the Tortilits
Gold and Silver Mining Company. Mr.. Real
is an experienced business man and well verset
in financial matters. His associates are men o.
like character and ability. The vice. president
of the company is Hon. Floyd King. distin
guished officer of the late war. and for nine ses
siOns-eight years-a member Of Congress from
Louisiana and chairman of important com
mittees Mr. Duhoise T. Elmore, who hs
worked the mines for three years and made
them pay, and who is a large owner in them, il
superintendent. He has had many years o
practical experience in mining and milling OF
the Comstoek in Nevada (which has paid il
dividends some $3.50, ,O0O, ,OOO), and in California
Mr.. Elmore gives it as his opinion that thes
mines promise as large results as the ComstOck
Mr. Rodmsn NJ. Price, jr., well-knOwn min
